Thx a lot, I've been waiting for this, this will be a great use in scripting.

Do you know if you could find the scripting commands as well.
Also stuff like conditions, like I_AdvisorSpeechPlaying


If possible, a list of these would be very much appreciated.

[khelvan]

Whatever you give me an example of, I can find. I search for instances of a particular thing, and then pull out the stuff near it that looks like more of the same class of "thing."

Not a very intelligent way of doing it, but I'm trying

[Myrddraal]

For examples of scripting commands look in the Prologue campaign script text file in data\world\maps\campaign\sons_of_mars

They include commands like:

   while I_TurnNumber = 1
   end_while
inc_counter
declare_counter
	monitor_event EscPressed TrueCondition	
		and I_CompareCounter IsFirstTurn = 1	
			console_command season winter
		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

Loads of stuff like that, I don't want to list them off the top of my head, I'll get the syntax wrong.

[khelvan]

Ok, someone who knows something about scripting needs to do this. I am just giving myself a headache. Prepare for spam. I probably missed a ton because I didn't know what I was looking for. At the end I just gave up, I'm too tired, maybe I'll try again some other time.

[Myrddraal]

Thank you very much khelvan. This is all and more than I hoped for. Thx

[ProgrammerX]

khelvan you are a god!

I was gonna do what u just did with my cracked RTW exe, but i just wasn't motivated enough to get all that work done.

This will surely help expand the limits to modding with RTW.

[khelvan]

Ah, no problem. Keep in mind, there may be more in there, I just couldn't look at it anymore. The hex editor I use doesn't allow me to see only ASCII, I have a split screen that just gives me headaches after a while.

[ProgrammerX]

i sent Myrddraal a text file containing all the "ASCII"....bout 500kbs that i copied out of it....so all of should be in there...

though it may take a long time to sift through it

[khelvan]

Just out of morbid curiosity, could you send that to me too? I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

-khel

[SigniferOne]

Was all of this pulled out or retail RomeTW.exe, or the demo? I couldn't find any of this in the retail file, so downloading the demo.

EDIT: Well I pulled out 1 meg worth of text, and wrote it up here:

[Suraknar]

Hello,

hen gao xing ren shi nin

This is what I saw in a thread over at twcenter by Simetrical.

-ne. This switch is the #1 most useful switch of all, discounting show_err. It allows RTW to run in windowed mode—you can switch back and forth between it and other applications instantly while anything's loading. I can't overstate how useful this is—no more staring blankly at loading screens! You can post on message boards, talk on IRC, etc., switching between RTW and your browser as easily as you switch between your browser and e-mail client. Try it out and see for yourself.

-nm. This is next most useful, in my opinion. What it does is quite simple—it eliminates all videos, including the introductory videos and the menu background video. This speeds up loading significantly.

-strat:campaign_name (campaign_name is the name of a subfolder within data\world\maps\campaign). This skips all the menus and immediately starts a new campaign that you specified. This is useful for repetitive testing of the campaign, or at least some find it so. I personally think it's easier to just start it up normally. Also, I don't know how to pick what faction you start as, but I'm sure there's some way.

And for those of you in the dark about -show_err and -enable_editor:

-show_err. This switch will often show you an error when one crops up in the game. Sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's not, sometimes an error doesn't show up at all. The error message will appear when you exit RTW (or when it crashes), and only the first error encountered will be reported.

-enable_editor. This switch enables the historical battle editor. With it enabled, go to the Options menu, then Battle Editor.

And that is all I know on this...

Khelvan,
which file did you extract the text from? I tried to cull out ASCII for the executables and did not get script commands. So I must be looking in the wrong place.

Afrit, rtw.exe - of course, you can't do it on an encrypted version of the file.
